Summer Activities in the Buffalo area

Is there anything to do in this area over the summer? The answer is yes. There is an abundance of places to see and things to do. I have started gathering info on what is out there. This is not a complete list, but should help to spur ideas when trying to figure out activities to do this summer.

Happy Birthday Aunt Mary!

Happy 71st Birthday Aunt Mary! There is truly a first time for everything. We were so excited to experience the first time she was ever sang Happy Birthday at a restaurant.

Monkey Hat

Mason woke up from his nap and went and put his hat on.  He refused to take it off and had it on for hours. He tried to wear it to bed and was not happy that I would not let him.

Fun in the snow
